Two of the region’s favorite pastimes, football and shopping, meet in a major partnership deal between Al-Ittihad Club Saudi Arabia and Noon that will see the digital marketplace become the main sponsor of the champion football club.
Noon’s partnership with Al-Ittihad, one of the Kingdom’s oldest football clubs, is expected to further strengthen the brand’s foundations in the region it was born.
The partnership was sealed at a signing ceremony attended by Dr. Yasser Nassif, Al-Ittihad CEO; Abdullah Kaboha, member of Al-Ittihad board of directors; Mohamed Alabbar, Noon founder; and Khalid Balghunaim, Noon director of KSA operations.
Alabbar said: “Sponsoring Al-Ittihad, a team with a long history of great achievements, is an honor for us. We’re also excited to connect with Al-Ittihad’s dedicated fan base.”
Loay Nazer, Al-Ittihad president, said: “I would like to thank Noon for their trust and dedication to Al-Ittihad, one of the most beloved football clubs with a history of many formidable achievements.”
